Create Tracking Devices

Name: Kaiser

RP Rank: Commander Barlex

Suggestion: Create and distribute tracking devices to different groups on the server. The item would stick to a player and be a constant indicator/marker on a player's minimap until a target is either killed or respawned, or the tracker is killed/respawned. The item would be small, not extremely noticeable but not invisible. 

Implementation: With how detpacks can stick to players, I would assume that another "thing" could be made and added with a similar effect with additional uses. This item would have infinite range with a ping or dot on a player's minimap that would lead them to the tracked player. You wouldn't be able to distribute the tracker to other players, it would for a single person use. Player A sticks a tracking device on Player B, meaning Player A is the only person that can see that persons marker on their minimap. 

It would be AWESOME if there could be a function where a GM can give a team someones tracking signal for deployment or event objectives, but if not then this shouldn't be able to shared due, can see that getting really annoying. Alternatively, an EJ could be at a briefing, a player tags them, then the GM tp's them to where they need to be. I could see this device could be put on some BH whitelists, maybe some SOBDE, maybe even CG. 

Lore: Obviously these existed in SW. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tracking_fob

+1 Could basically function the same as giving them a colored outline just like how a player gets one when aos'd, but with a much larger radius to be seen from.

How do you think this tracker should interact those with Cloaking sweps?

Shouldn’t reveal them to people that can’t see cloakers, but if a hunter gets tagged with a tracker and is cloaked in a room with the person tracking, I’d assume the person tracking has a singular IQ point and understands they’re in the room with them

I thought asking for a dev to work on your suggestion would be a badge of honor!

I think if they get shot with the tracking device, it should track them even if they are cloak. It’s a tracking device. Plus, I can foresee it having issues code wise if you try to remove the tracking when cloaked

Dont think we're sayin that, the tracker would work on a player thats cloaked just not reveal their outline to people that cant see cloakers.
